Professor Sujit Dutta was invited by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Mushirul Hassan, in early
2009 to strengthen teaching and promote research on conflict analysis with focus on India
and Asia at the NMCPCR, the country’s leading academic centre for peace and conflict
studies. Prof. Dutta’s strong background in research on international politics, conflict
analysis, Indian strategic thought and security policies, China studies and South Asian
politics were seen as valuable for the tasks set. He took up the Chair’s work in May 2009.
In keeping with the terms of appointment the Chair’s work in the period 2009-2014 spanned
teaching MA and Ph.D courses, supervising Ph.D research, holding the Gandhi Chair
Lectures on Peace and Conflict Resolution, organizing a major international conference on
Prospects for Conflict Management and Peace in South Asia, delivering lectures, presenting
papers at international and national conferences, and undertaking research and writing.
I. Teaching:

patterns, theories of war, and peace studies.
b. Indian Strategic Thought: Understanding the Ideas of leading Indian thinkers from

Nehru and the post-independence era, to post-liberalisation grand strategy, state

c. World Order in the 21st Century: order, justice, security, inequality, globalization,
ideologies, political movements and conflicts in the making and shaping of world
order
In addition, lectures on Conflict Analysis are also delivered to the Ph.D programme.

This has involved both guiding 7 Ph.D scholars and over 20 MA dissertations. The
researchthemes for Ph.Ds cover a spectrum of conflict and peace studies areas: SAARC and
Regionalism in South Asia, The Ideological underpinnings of India’s nuclear programme,
Recognition of Identities for peaceful State Building in India, Democracy as Conflict
Management in Conflicted States—Afghanistan and Iraq, India’s experience in conflict
